BMIBaby have fled back to EMA in fear following the Ryanair move into BHX
I would agree with this statement if there was no FR base at EMA. Instead, all it shows to me is that BHX can't seemingly support two major based loco carriers. Whilst the reduction in Baby flights is for sure a one of the reasons BHX pax figures are falling, Baby can't be in that much fear of FR as they have run back to an airport where FR have a much bigger and more established base and fly to more destinations than they do at BHX. If anything they should have stuck it out at BHX since that is where FR seem to have completely stagnated......
In terms of EDI pax figures, domestic flights do account for a large chunk of their total which BHX will never have in the same numbers due to its much more central location and proximity to London
